An experimental leaf-spring lever bow

<< < (2/4) > >>

jameswoodmot:
That’s a cool bow! Well designed, thought out and executed! I couldn’t see what wood you used?

WhistlingBadger:
Very nice!  I kept a bunch of leaf springs from my daughter's old bed and intended to try this, but never did it.  What a cool idea.

superdav95:
Very cool.  Looks great.  I did one kinda like this but I called it a platypus bow.  It was a while ago when I posted it here.  It was similar idea but incorporated into a 5 piece bamboo asiatic  style bow.  I’ll try a post a pic or two here if I can find it.  Better yet here’s the link from my post on pa

nice thinking outside the box, and decent speeds from a prototype. 

Maybe some uhmw, teflon or even a roller would work better than felt and leather if you wanted to increase efficiency

Pat B:
Interesting bow and well executed.   :OK
